Overview
- Investigators obtained a SIM registered to Mir Raza and formally reissued it to his mother after biometric checks and paperwork to try to access his WhatsApp backups.
- Police built a detailed 12-hour timeline of July 27 that traces a 5:45 p.m. meeting on Shahrah-e-Faisal about a Rs7–8 million investment, a roughly 7 p.m. notice of a Rs10 million bank loan approved in his sister’s name, and an 8:15 p.m. call in which the investor backed out.
- Officers have already recovered some WhatsApp messages in which Raza described serious financial and domestic stress and are pursuing full backup recovery from the phone and cloud providers.
- Authorities recorded statements from a nearby residential security guard and from the imam, muezzin and mosque committee members as part of witness corroboration, and the Sindh cabinet has approved a judicial inquiry into the case.
- The investigation remains active as police wait for forensic and medical reports, seek more witness accounts and review CCTV or other digital evidence that could explain motive and sequence of events.
